Good weekend

Past few months have been really gruesome as far as work goes. I am working on one of the most complex projects in my life which has made be realize that I still need to improve on a couple of thinks like a) Cleaner C programming b) Code reading c) Better understanding of Multiprocessing and multithreaded kernels. Currently every day is a new lesson learned. I m learning a lot but sometimes do feel like I am getting burnt out.

Anyway this weekend was really a good break from all of the hectic life and work. We did not do much on Friday as it was raining heavily. So we basically watched a movie "Sweeney Todd", was an ok movie as compared to other Tim Burton flicks.

Saturday was really good with we going to a plant nursery to find new plants for our new garden. This was followed by a visit to a stone shop, to buy tiles for our garden pathway. We did not buy anything though since we still haven't made our minds about what we want. In the evening we then met our friends and went for a hike to Umstead park. This was followed by a heavy Indian dinner. We then got together with some of our old friends and played poker until 2 am. It was great playing poker after a while.

We woke up really late on Sunday morning and headed directly (after a shower) to a Gurudwara with our friends. It was a unique experience for me since I had never been to a Gurudwara before. We then had some really good food (langar) at the Gurudwara and after that headed to the Hindu temple for 15th August (Indian Independence Day) celebrations. Met couple of office folks there. The celebration was so so though.

Then came back home watched a movie and am writing this blog now. Damn, the weekend is over again and the busy life starts once more.
